I agree with most of what you said: most people are not worth dealing with and I too prefer to avoid them as much as possible. I truly enjoy the company of my immediate family and I do not feel deprived because I currently have no friends outside of my family. I also must listen to the well-intentioned comments of others who insist that I could not possibly be content keeping my own company. But I have a VERY different view of friendship than most other people; I detest the shallow relationships that most people pass off as friendships. When I meet a kindred spirit, THEN I'll invest my time and energy in a friendship. Until then, I'm happy with my family, the internet, and a good book.
